Banff Gondola, Banff, AB Before all the wildfire craziness, we had a really nice 3-day road trip to Banff. It's about a 5-hour drive from our place, which is amazing considering how beautiful this place is. The Banff Gondola is a 10-minute ride with a walkable trail on top. It's a must-visit, beautiful 360' panoramas, although it's quite expensive. We paid around $280 for 4 tickets 😑
